LAUNE RANGERS proved far too strong for a disappointing An Ghealtacht side in the Kerry club final played at the Austin Stack Park yesterday. They now qualify as Kerry's representatives in the All Ireland Club series and face Clare champions Doonbeg at home in the Munster semi-final.
Rangers led 1-5 to 1-4 at half time with the Hassett brothers, Mike and Liam, quite outstanding while Pa O'Sullivan cracked home an excellent goal after three minutes. Marc O Se got An Ghealtacht's goal.
